New customer needs
Listening to our customers over the last few months as they navigate their way through this crisis and prepare for their re-entry into the new business landscape that is now beginning to emerge, here are the most common needs now facing businesses:
1. What’s the purpose?
It’s imperative that businesses need to ensure their raison d'etre or what Simon Sinek calls THE WHY has not gone fuzzy and is super clear and relevant for the new world.
2. Say’s Who?
There has never been a more apposite time to seek out and understand the evolving needs of your consumers and customers - these fresh insights will help guide your businesses decisions in the coming years.
3. Futureproof
In many categories, innovation has stalled and dried up as caution overrides ambition - it’s time to rebuild the pipeline with smart solutions tailored to meet identified needs.
4. Badge of honour
Is your brand now relevant for the new landscape, does it truly reflect what you stand for and how you want to leave your mark on the 20s?
5. People-centred
Making your people sing. Give them the wings to develop themselves so they can help you thrive.
6. Give me an edge
The new world will be no less competitive than before C-19 so businesses need a point of difference to win. Communicating that and articulating your unique offer needs to be super engaging to stand out.
7. Talk my language
With the changing needs of consumers and customers, it’s key that your products and services communicate their benefits clearly and effectively.
